Wow, nice headline.
Your definition of a wall must only be 2 feet high.
Still production constrained and will remain to be.

The last TSLA panic, caused by a pessimistic Goldman Sachs opinion, also lasted about 48 hours. But hey, let the press have fun with Tesla. The mere mention generates clicks, which should tell you something.

You, Wall Street Journal are out of touch, out of the loop, and well outside of the Obama Wall Street inner circle. WSJ writes about walls and bubbles, while stocks reach uncharted highs. You can almost see the Wall Street traders waiting for a WSJ story, and then pouncing on it, to move things in the opposite direction.

The Dow is at 15K. Nasdaq at dotcom levels. S&P500 and Russell in uncharted territory, and for months and years you’ve been talking about “dark clouds” and “bubbles” and “bailing” and “volatility” and “greater fools”, This is Obama’s (Geithner’s and Bernanke’s) Wall Street. Every square millimeter is run by his guys. Not even Clinton’s (Rubin’s and Greenspan’s) Wall Street of the ROARING 90′s (with sub 4% unemployment, high growth rates, balanced budgets, truly low cost-of-living/price levels – oil in the 20′s or less) could produce stocks this high. This is a stock market that will not relinquish its 4 1/2 year record-setting gains. You, WSJ, have been out of the loop, and outside of the Obama Wall Street’s inner circle, and irrelevant for many years now.

The most recent comment seems sadly lacking in fact s, but check full of political views.

Nasdaq peaked at 4573 during dotcom era and is still 17.% below that level.. TSLA has major issues. It may make a nice car for a small number of well heeled buyers, but is dependant on Gov't handouts to try to make profits. Nothing illustrates their ability to move into major volume on a worldwide basis at even, say 10%, of Ford annual volume of 6.5 million units.

It is a momentum stock valued at 23 times sales when Toyota and Ford are at less than one times sales.

Look forward to a reasonable valuation in the next few months of about $50 a share-not $200 IF they perform flawlessly and ramp up to 400,000 units with a good global distribution system.

jetamerica - get a job with the Wall Street Journal. You would fit in perfectly. And, you would keep making a fool of yourself. Last check - Tesla up over $6! Dow, Nasdaq, S&P, Russell, all up! As has been stated, this is Obama's Wall Street and this news source is irrelevant.

Hmmm - well now that all ten members of the Tesla cult have weighed in, maybe we'll get some comments about the company's headwinds, fundamentals, and reliance on government mandates to be "profitable".

Haha, you gotta just laugh at the Tesla haters. Weather they're just ignorant to the fact that Elon Musk is a pure genius with tons of support, or they missed the boat on the big climbs, they're just so comically bitter.

It actually makes me smile to know they think Tesla won't have long-term return. Failure to see the big picture huh? Sounds like some right-wing nonsense; ignore the facts and the science.

Lol ^ jaime54: right wing delerium spin.

So, the US economy and public has no need for a battery-powered vehicle that has aesthetic appeal? Do you just fight liberal ideas because you hate Obama? He has nothing to do with this. Check the revenue stream, buddy.

Wake up and smell the climate change. You sound like a dinosaur.

@jaime54 - You make it so easy to laugh at you with your right wing delirium.

Wake up. The country, and the planet, is embracing an aesthetically appealing battery-powered car that is unrivaled by the key players in the auto industry right now. They are selling vehicles. It's that simple buddy.

Wake up and smell the climate change.

Unrivalled right now. Electric cars have been around for 124 years. A record was made of 100 kph in 1899 by Porsche.

But, they have never been economical and are not now. No car to date is sold for a profit. Only Gov't handouts enable them to report any positive numbers. There were 90 million cars build worldwide last year. Tesla hope to sell 20,000 this year and 400,000 I 4 years when global production will be about 100,000.

A rich man's toy for the 1%. A nice, pretty, well designed toy. A company that sells at 23 times sales, in an industry where Toyota sell at less than one times sales.

Dream on. If the execute all they promise it might be a stock wroth $50, not $180

If you actually knew some facts and strategic plans of the company, maybe we could debate.

Elon Musk plainly stated that they will have a car that is affordable at approximately $40k within 4 years. Not sure if you count recent history into your portfolio, but I do, and it says that Elon Musk does exactly what he says.

Also, he's already laid out a plan to create a charging grid from coast-to-coast.

Sales continue to rise, and as they do, shares continue to be bought, and as they do, confidence continues to grow.

Sorry you missed the early run buddy. Get on board for the long haul or go drive your GMC Yukon.

It may have been a buy at $25, a year ago. It's what, $180? Looks like the trading bots have built an infinite buy-loop into the program on the TSLA ticker. Nissan and Prius have inexpensive plug-ins too.They are not "green", just ask the owner of an electric car, if you can find one, what it does to their electric bill.

Anyway, bashing a stock like this just creates more buying. This is the 90's rewind.

It goes up and it goes down wrote:

All stocks go up and go down. It just the nature of stocks. Tesla is no different. The car fire was just the trigger to a sell off or something else would have caused a sell off. Remember Apple was going to a $1000 but it now sells for about $500. Just capitalism at work.
